Give a cat both wet and dry food. When it gets older it will have trouble eating dry food ( because of it’s teeth) but will be used to eating wet food and not reject it. Cats can eat human food. Fish, make sure there are no bones in it same with chicken. Seafoods, small thin pieces of meat, cut it for her and hamburger. Cats love milk especially canned milk. I had a cat who would drag corn cobs out of the garbage and eat them. This same cat loved cooked vegetables.

Oh sure.

Wet cat food is perfectly fine.
It’s like a ‘Treat’ for them when we give them their favorite Wet cat food like 2 or 3 times a week.

Cats really love Wet can foods {Sliced} and not the mashed type…..with alot of
Gravy it them.
At least my cat does = )

I find that my Cat gets very tired of her boring DRY Cat food, no matter what type of band it is.

How many of you would Agree??

Dry cat food is best on an everyday baisis. If you give her wet cat food, you should only do it a few times a week, as it’s not the best for thier teeth. Human food is usually a treat, and probably not a good idia to do very often. I’m not sure about fish, but if you give her milk, don’t give her a lot and not often at all as it can cause diarrea.

I give my cats both wet and dry food (that is good for the teeth) and also some milk if they are constipated. However milk is not the best for them as they find it hard to digest. You can get milk specially for cats and boy do mine like that. I also give them tuna sometimes as a treat. Also cheese and porridge as these both go down very well

I give my cat 1 small cat of wet food every night and keep out a small portion (one cup) of PURINA ONE in the bowl for her to nibble on throughout the day. I don’t advise giving table scraps because it could cause obesity, clogged arteries, and all kinds of other issues. As far as the milk, I have read that causes diarrhea and gas. I don’t suggest you give him that. I have been told not to give canned fish (tuna) to cats because of the levels of mercury can be dangerous. I have done that for years and have never had problems. I would limit that to one can every 2 weeks. To summarize, as long as the cat gets enough vitamins/minerals and doesn’t become overweight, you limit portions, keep the scraps, you’re good.

Dry food is best for your cat - especially their teeth. Moist food is alright to give them occasionally. Cats have very different metabolisms than humans do so don’t give the cat any table scraps. As for milk, it has an enzyme that the cat cannot digest properly causing the cat gas and discomfort.

you are going to get a lot of answers on here but I’m going to tell you, my cousin was a vet assistant. it’s fine to give her dry cat food. nothing wrong with that at all. helps to strengthen teeth. You can give her wet cat food too but not too much because it will deteriorate her teeth slowly; make them weak. I don’t recommend giving her human food-unless it’s chicken or tuna, my cat LOVES either one. Just make sure that the bones are out of the tuna or salmon even. Just don’t give her too much cows milk, it’s not good for her. Just a little. Oh, and if your cat will eat it, give her one egg scrambled, just one, it will help with the shine on her coat. (Unfortunately, my cat will not eat them!)
